Are you as strong as God? Can your voice thunder like his?

Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will listen to his prayer. Then I will not punish you for being foolish. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job did."

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord gave him success again. The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had owned before.

Job's brothers and sisters came to his house, along with everyone who had known him before, and they all ate with him there. They comforted him and made him feel better about the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave Job a piece of silver and a gold ring.

After this, Job lived one hundred forty years. He lived to see his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

This is because the Lord takes care of his people, but the wicked will be destroyed.

The kings of the earth prepare to fight, and their leaders make plans together against the Lord and his appointed one.

Then the Lord warns them and frightens them with his anger.

Show that you are loyal to his son, or you will be destroyed by his anger, because he can quickly become angry. But happy are those who trust him for protection.

David sang this when he ran away from his son Absalom. Lord , I have many enemies! Many people have turned against me.

I will pray to the Lord , and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah

The Lord can save his people. Lord , bless your people. Selah

If they do not change their lives, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and take aim.

He has prepared his deadly weapons; he has made his flaming arrows.

But the Lord rules forever. He sits on his throne to judge,

The Lord has made himself known by his fair decisions; the wicked get trapped by what they do. Higgaion. Selah

The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord sits on his throne in heaven. He sees what people do; he keeps his eye on them.

The Lord does what is right, and he loves justice, so honest people will see his face.

Everyone lies to his neighbors; they say one thing and mean another.

I praise the Lord because he advises me. Even at night, I feel his leading.
